Shadow meets Shadow of. 2

Andrew gets home, writes a note for Gale on the door and clears the living room and begins to meditate
 
Andrew: Gale if you can’t reach me then it’s pointless of even trying to train you.

Gale was laying in his bed staring at the ceiling. When he got home, his parents asked him about his exams. He told them that everything was fine and the test was easier than he expected it to be. He decided it best to avoid mentioning Andrew. Knowing his parents, they would react in an overprotective fashion. Were they wrong though? Gale knew nothing of Andrew except for his abilities yet he trusted him so easily. 

The sun was beginning to set. Gale turned his head to his desk where the paper with the address Andrew gave him was sitting. 

'I want to be stronger.' He thought. He stood up and grabbed the paper shoving it in his pocket. He grabbed his jacket. He ran downstairs. He'd told his parents ealier that he would be meeting with some who passed the exam for a celebration party. He rushed out the door on his way to meet Andrew.

When Gale got to the apartment he notice a note or the door with instructions.

Gale the doors unlocked. Step inside and you’ll find me in the living room. Your firist test is to reach me in the shadow fields. If you can reach me then by the end of the night you’ll already be stronger.

Gale hesitated before going inside, but he didn’t let his nerves get the best of him. So he walk in and found Andrew in a meditative state. As he walked closer he saw Andrew’s shadow. A large tiger shaped shadow with eagle wings laying there relaxed but sharply following him ready to attack if he tries to attack his host. Gale pounders for a moment thinking of his shadow has a form like that. Before he could get lose in though he sat down and began meditating. Gale was trying to figure it out and then all of a sudden his shadow began dancing around and linked with Andrew’s shadow. Gale opened he’s eyes thinking he was back in the living room but he soon figure out that wasn't true at all. 

"Is this... The shadow fields?" 

Gale looked around trying to gathering his surroundings. There was no sign of any form of light yet he could still see. He held his hands up to his face. He could still see them. He could still see himself. Underneath his feet, he could feel something similar to concrete. This place was new to him. His shadow step only allowed him to travel between the shadows of two objects. It was more like opening a door, going through a small hallway and coming out the other side. He never imagined there would be a entire plain of nothing but darkness. His body felt lighter but stronger. 

"Where's Andrew?"

Andrew: Gale I need you to listen cause I’m only going to say this once. If I have to find you we’re going to have problems. In order to find me you have to feel me out with your powers. Use your senses to locate my power. Trust me I’m closer than you think. 

Gale looking confused started to focus his power and sharpen his senses. He remembered Andrew saying that he needed to be more aware of his surroundings and he needs to connect with his shadow. So with all that to think about Gale cleared his mind and focus. After awhile he felt a faint familiar feeling. He started to walk towards it to notice that he only took about 5 steps and when he opened his eyes there he was. Andrew standing right there in one hand and apple. In the other hand was a scythe. 

Gale - Is that a scythe in your hand?
Andrew - Lol nah fam my right arm is the scythe. 
Gale - ........oh 
Andrew - Well since you found me we can more on to the next part of your training combat because you’re going to need it for the battle ahead. So Gale are you ready?
Gale - .........ummmm I guess
Andrew - Gale I said ARE YOU READY!?!?!? If you’re not then I got two words for you. You’re dead!
